First Reading

Језекиљ 2: 2- 5

2:2 And after this was spoken to me, the Spirit entered into me, and he set me on my feet. And I heard him speaking to me,

2:3 и говорећи: “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to an apostate nation, which has withdrawn from me. They and their fathers have betrayed my covenant, па и до данас.

2:4 And those to whom I am sending you are sons with a hard face and an unyielding heart. А ти ћеш им рећи: ‘Thus says the Lord God.’

2:5 Perhaps it may be that they will hear, and perhaps they may be quieted. For they are a provoking house. And they shall know that there has been a prophet in their midst.

Second Reading

Second Corinthians 12: 7- 10

12:7 And lest the greatness of the revelations should extol me, there was given to me a prodding in my flesh: an angel of Satan, who struck me repeatedly.

12:8 Због овога, three times I petitioned the Lord that it might be taken away from me.

12:9 И рекао ми је: “My grace is sufficient for you. For virtue is perfected in weakness.” And so, willingly shall I glory in my weaknesses, so that the virtue of Christ may live within me.

12:10 Због овога, I am pleased in my infirmity: in reproaches, in difficulties, in persecutions, in distresses, for the sake of Christ. For when I am weak, then I am powerful.
